Hi,I am vietnamese too,if you can't root your phone you can follow the full instruction on tinhte.vn forum.
[Android Software Development] Meltus:
I whipped this up for you.

It doesn't look great but it does the job. Put the 'hosts' file on your sdcard (not in any folder) that you want to move and rename it 'hosts.txt'. Then run the app and press the button. You'll probably need to reboot afterwards.

Enjoy.

This doesn't back up the hosts file on your phone so you may want to do that manually.

[YOU NEED ROOT ACCESS]
[Android Software Development] vietnam123:
Thank you so much.

Dear Meltus,

Firstly, I thank you very much to write this apk for me. You're so kind.

But it's maybe something wrong!

I install your apk, put the hosts.txt in SDCard (in the root, not in any folder).

Then run the app and press the button, reboot afterwards.

I used Astro to view the hosts file. But this file is error. It has 0 byte and can be read.

Please fix it. Thank you so much, again.

P/S: Maybe you make an options to chose folder of hosts file.

Further, you can develop this apk to change any file of system by chose the source and destiny paths.
[EVO 4G General] exempt:
im guessing its just a coincidence, as it is CM so I dont suspect anything. Just found it odd. possible issue with CM code causing too many logins? known issue?
[EVO 4G General] clamknuckle:
I've wiped and installed god knows how many different ROMs and never gotten an email about suspicious activity. It's probably not related to CM7 at all. I'd look into it.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] AsherChua:
Hey guys! I found some videos on YouTube and learned something about partitioning of the sdcard.And I believe that we need to choose some ext. partition of 128,256 or 512mb and do some swapping things.Will that actually increase the internal space on our phone? Can someone show me a thread regarding this or give me a detailed explanation??? Thanks!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bioan:
Some ROMs have this feature implemented. (Void, megatron, etc) Nothing new...
[Optimus One, P500, V General] AsherChua:
So will it increase internal storage space???
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bioan:
It doesn't increase it. The apps will install on sd card and you will have more free space on internal storage.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] AsherChua:
Is it the same as Apps2sd?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] masteryx:
Yes. App2sd needs that ext partition. Otherwise the phone simply uses the entire memory card with FAT filesystem.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rikux:
Do you mean the original 2GB SD has ext partition? I think there is only one partition although I can use apps-to-sd in my P500. What is the real benefit by using more than one partition?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] AsherChua:
Yeah I would like to know that too!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] masteryx:
No, rikux, the original card only has FAT partition.

EXT type partition should be created only if you plan to use app2sd with a custom ROM.

In case things are not clear, App2SD is a feature that moves installed applications onto the memory card. There are two ways of using it:

1. Simple install of the app from the market. Now you got yourself a nice little batch mover from internal memory to the card. It can not move apps installed as services and widgets. You could move the apps yourself, but you can only do it one by one - so there's where Apps2SD comes in handy because it lets you do it all at once. All clear so far, OK?

2. A more sophisticated use of this feature, actually called "a2sd" and used in the custom ROMs. What it does is tricking the phone into believing it has more internal memory available. But all this extra space must come from somewhere, right? Thus, this space it's taken from the memory card under the appearance of an EXT partition. Why EXT, I don't know - probably in order not to confuse the phone with two FAT partitions. Now, when you install an application, the app goes to the internal memory but physically it's hosted on the SD card... get it? No more "moving to SD card" necessary, because now if you choose to MOVE an app from the "internal memory" to the "SD card", what you're actually doing is moving it from the EXT partition to the FAT partition. :P Moreover, now even service apps and widgets go to the SD card, and everything happens automatically.

rikux, you're falling in the first case above.

AsherChua, what you've seen on Youtube fits in the second case above.

I really hope you understand now the differences, and the utility.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rikux:
Masteryx thanks very much for the good explanation.

As I am not going to use any custom ROM, the Froyo 2.2 inbuild capability to install2SD one by one is enough for me. So it seems like I don't need any more partitions.

The question still remains, are these "App2SD" and "a2SD" somehow more efficient than the standart Froyo apps2sd, which cannot install all apps to sd and if it can then only a part of app is in sd. I assume methode 1. and 2. can install all apps to sd.

Still one question as my 2GB original SD is quite full allready. Is it OK to copy all from the original SD to a bigger SD with PC card reader? Can the new SD be formatted in PC and is FAT32 OK?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] masteryx:
Method 1 can install on the card only the apps that Froyo allows, not all of them. Method 2 installs all of them on the card.

About the new card: yes, it will work just fine. Just make sure you copy everything, including the hidden files and folders.

I suggest formatting the new card in the phone. Let it "decide" what kind of FAT system should be used. I know that FAT32 is a bit more reliable, but the phone manual clearly states that the card should use FAT16 (aka FAT) file system. I'm pretty sure both will work exactly the same, so do as you please.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] AsherChua:
Thanks masteryx for the brilliant answer! One question though,I'm using megatron and it has apps2sd 'preinstalled' in that rom. So can I say that I have case 2 enabled too?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] masteryx:
Yes, you do.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] AsherChua:
Right thanks!
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] ValkyrieLiberty:
I am having trouble getting psx4droid working, I have the right settings,bios, and the.bin file is valid, but ia attempt to load it and it restarts back to the file tree....

So I downloaded, FPse, and to my surprise, it works! So I guess my question is, which one is better? Is psx4d worth trying to fix?

Thanks for any advice!
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] matt_b:
if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Plasmamuffins:
How did you get fpse to work without lag?
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] ValkyrieLiberty:
Cm7+overclock+(no game sound )= no lag...
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Plasmamuffins:
Where do you get your roms from?
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] matt_b:
Not here cause piracy is bad.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Plasmamuffins:
I have an assload of PlayStation games, I just want to know where he got them from. Roms are legal if you actually own the game, which I do.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] ms_green:
If you have them you can rip them using programmes like ISO buster.

You'll get an iso file and that's the rom you need.

[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Plasmamuffins:
Thank you :D
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Theonew:
FPse seems better to me. I tried PSX4Droid and it was much slower than FPse. FPse rocks!!
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] ms_green:
Yeah, psx4droid used to be terrible...but: now its available for free on the developers website :)

The version isn't the same as on the market: its version 3.

Surprisingly it performs about as good as fpse and graphics are better (even with anti aliasing off). But: You only can enable auto frameskip and not manually choose the amount of skipped frames. Furthermore the menu is a bit buggy.

But since it's free why not give it a try? :)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darksider94:
Hey.

Yesterday I upgraded to 2.2 froyo and then rooted it. I was looking around and began to be interested in modding/themeing my phone. But, i'm unsure if I need to be on a custom rom or if being on the official rom is fine to use.

Thanks :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerseyjereme:
Please Help Me!

I am currently running Firmware 2.2 Baseband Version UCJI6 Kernel 2.6.32.9 jetaek.lee@sep-11#1 Build FROYO.UCJI6. I updated to that with odin3 so my phone hasnt been rooted either. Obviously I want to upgrade my phone to a more recent version of 2.2 but am not sure how to go about it. I tried to update the kb1 that was just released but kies mini will not read my phone. Can anyone please help me. Id really appreciate it. Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whiteguypl:
For modding you want an unthemed rom for themeing it doesnt matter.

What on gods green earth does this have to do with the original posters question.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darksider94:
Alright, sweet. I'll probably just stick with theming then. I'm pretty satisfied with official froyo, so i don't really want to go through the hassle of flashing a custom rom onto my phone just for a mod.

And i'm just gonna ignore the other guy's comment, lol.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dupontrocks11:
He probably saw this post first and posted the question because he is new lol. He posted a thread later after he realized.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darksider94:
Lol probably.

Heinz_57 ROM Version 5/7/11 w/ edify scripting : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YWB3E4FA

No Issues on the EB16 or EC10 version...EB16 & EC10 also has a slightly themed swype with some green to it, and i themed the Mms as well...nice and green...nothing to special but i like it

EDIT : The EC10 Version has puzzle unlock, and 32 sec soft key mod. if you dont want the soft key mod...remove the services.jar from the framework folder

EDIT : The Heinz Version will work on the Showcase too!!!!
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
Great work man, looks good! You'll need to edit the files I made blue (menu outlines, etc.), I can find the names for you if you need, just let me know.
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Looks good man. Nice work. And you got it done quickly too!
[Samsung Mesmerize] BakedTator:
was up till bout 5am est working on this...i wanted it on my phone...lol....gonna finish everything by tomorrow sometime...only thing i really haveing trouble with is when a box of text pops up with in an app...the stuff i changed green gets all distorted...thats why the menu outlines are still blue...what could be causing that?
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
those are .9.png files and can only be edited properly when decompiled with apktool (it will then show you these black outlines where android can then interpret where to stretch the image) so what you should do is just edit the pnp framework while i'ts decompiled, then recompile it and pull the images out using 7zip. When you're editing the color, be sure to keep the image in the same place and don't edit those black lines at all.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
Awesome Job Tator!!!!
[Samsung Mesmerize] BakedTator:
Thank you sir...working on the battery now

Edit : uploading beta 0.2 its got the battery fixes...looks like to one in blue steel but green...animations work and everything....the last update will fix the menu outlines

[Samsung Mesmerize] BakedTator:
yea the puzzle piece will be nice once phidelt gets everything worked out...its been giving him so much hell getting it all together but hes making progress...im trying to help him, but seeing as im just learning the stuff hes doing, i dont think ill be making much (or any) real contribution to the project, though i wish i could
[Samsung Mesmerize] Omnibot:
Anyone tried this on EC10 yet? Just wondering since it's my preferred theme and I'm really missing my battery life indicator!

Thanks!
[Samsung Mesmerize] Omnibot:
Well I took the leap, tried it. WORKS GREAT! I had to load the EB16 Puzzle Lock to get that back but it works just fine with the ASOP launcher as well!

****NOTE: I did this before pick'n'pack v0.1 came along for EC10, so if you do that first just beware I didn't test that part of it, I used it in the interim so perhaps someone with more knowledge of these things will need to post before you make that jump.
[Samsung Mesmerize] BakedTator:
updated OP with EC10 PnP version of this for anyone wanting it
[Samsung Mesmerize] duggie420:
Great theme but when I open my email and bring up the menu the font is black and impossible to read otherwise I love.
[Samsung Mesmerize] BakedTator:
ill see what i can do about it...i never had that problem...may be something with the app and theme doing things different. You talking about gmail app?
[Samsung Mesmerize] JayRHamlin:
I am using EC10 and I just flashed the eb16 theme and everything worked fine. What is the difference with the EC10 version that was just posted?
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
There are slight differences between the framework-res.apk in EB16 to EC10, so although it may work, it's "cheating" So we're porting these themes using the proper EC10 framework-res.apk to prevent any possible issues. (by using EB16's framework it could be breaking other things that EC10 needs from it's proper framework-res.apk)
[Samsung Mesmerize] evilntention:
So I'm trying out some of the new themes on here and this one its nice but why doesn't it change the app/home button? Everything is green and uniform except it, sticks out bad imo.anyways just throwing out an opinion everything else about it is great looks good with matrix 3d live wallpaper and the green honeycomb clock but I guess that's what makes the button color stick out even worse
[Samsung Mesmerize] Cedricmackay:
Any news on the pink version? My wife keeps asking me to find one for her.

Ok, im new to all of this. Been reading around these and other forums for the past three days. I lean towards being more of a take risks and hope for the best with these kinds of things but themes is where i don't want to take the jump XD

Im running ec10 with ec10 PnP v3. Red cwm. I have ideas on what to try but id rather not have to flash in odin a third time.... What midnight/steel theme would work on mine if any? Also would any of the blue steels work on mine? ultimately id like to have blue steel with puzzle lock. puzzle is a deal breaker for me.... great job btw guys, i give you guys credit for having the patience to deal with us all and to continue on after it all.

[Nook Color General] loribuono:
So, after yesterday's "authentication error" and reset, I've got this thing all back to the way I want it. Now, my question is... what do I need to do to back it up, so I can restore it should this happen again? I've got Titanium Backup on it, but I want to be sure I'm doing the best option to get me a good restore later on.

Thanks, Lori
[Nook Color General] hvuong2:
Boot back into Clockwork Recovery... and create a backup. From there, you should be good.
[Nook Color General] loribuono:
What do you mean "back into Clockwork Recovery?" I used AutoNooter 3.0, if that matters.
[Nook Color General] combustiblemonkey:
"backup" is subjective... You could go all out and put a small CWM image on a 32 gig card, boot it up and hit ADB then DD the internal storage into an image on the SD card... but that is likely excessive.

A better idea would be to install the CWM the Cyanogen authors created or use some SD bootable CWM and use it to make a nandroid backup.
[Nook Color General] loribuono:
Thanks again. Is there some place that explains what all this means, 'cause I have no idea what Nandroid is or what DD stands for or what any of that means.
[Nook Color General] lyam23:
Nandroid Backup - full backup image of the OS from the internal nand (nand+android=nandroid, cute, huh?) flash nand memory. Think of it as an .iso image.

CRW-Clockwork Recovery. It's a custom recovery tool that allows you to do various things like backup and restore your nandroid. It exists on the boot partition and you access it using various button press/hold combinations at boot which vary depending on how you've got your system setup.

AutoNooter- is just (!) a tool that makes it easy to root your Nook. Once rooted, this tool is not used again.
[Nook Color General] loribuono:
So, if you use Nandroid, where do you store the image? Can you store it on your PC?
[Nook Color General] wpnyc2009:
Store on uSD or PC

I keep the latest backup on the uSD in the folder it defaults to, then copy the prior 1 to the PC. I only keep 2 BU at a time. The BU are good sized: 400-500MBs, so it makes sense to me this way. You're milage may vary.

Good luck m8!
[Nook Color General] fpga_guy:
If you use Monster Rootpack 0.7, you can boot CWM off of the sd card and store your backup on the SD. From there you can remove your SD card and read/store the contents on your PC.
